Rick Prelinger

Lost Landscapes of San Francisco, 10

Rick is founder of Prelinger Archives in San Francisco, whose moving image holdings may be found online at www.archive.org. Rick co-founded Prelinger Library (www.prelingerlibrary.org), a publicly-available collection of historical periodicals, books, print ephemera, maps and government documents.

Combining favorites from past years with this year's footage discoveries, the 10th annual feature-length program shows San Francisco's neighborhoods, infrastructure, celebrations, and people from 01906 through the 01970s. New sequences this year include 01930s scenes in downtown taverns, New Deal labor graphics, an exuberant 01940s Labor Day parade, radical longshore workers, newly discovered World War II-era tourist-shot Kodachromes, residential neighborhood activities, and much more.

As always, the audience makes the soundtrack! Come prepared to identify places, people and events, to ask questions, and to engage in spirited real-time repartee with fellow audience members.

Stewart Brand's Summary will be posted shortly.
